R is for Reading

Reading is a skill I picked up at a very early age thanks to my awesome mother who never thought to limit herself to reading me "age appropriate" books. Or thankfully to limit me to reading "age appropriate" books. (Oh the battles she fought)

Now there is nothing that makes me happier than to curl up on my couch under a warm fuzzy blanket with a good book. *sigh* My prefered genre is of course fantasy or sci fi but I will read anything and everything I can get my hands on. I have three overflowing bookshelves in my hallway (just of my books, this does not include the monkeys overflow shelves of books) of books I cannot think of parting with.

Then I had the bright idea of getting an e-reader so that I would maybe not end up on an episode of Hoarders one day. I love it, it's great for instant gratification. And those books that are only e-published or only published in another country and shipping is outrageous. But it is not a book. I still prefer the feel and smell of a real book.

If you have been reading for a while the you know that I took on a self imposed reading challenge last month. I had one and a half books finished (reviews to come) before I interrupted myself to read the Hunger Games after seeing the movie. ( I couldn't resist, I had the books already and after seeing the movie...). Eh, anyways, I really have to speed up a bit if I am going to even make a dent in that to read list.

January has been an interesting month for me so far. I had a strong start thanks to using my Audible credit for December on a "self help book" which really shook me into action. My first week of cross offs are in purple.

Hi everyone! Time for the Friendly Fill-Ins.Be sure to add your link at McGuffy's Reader, 1. The flu shot ______________________.
2. I think everyone should take ____________________ daily.

3. I (almost) always , because . 4. I (almost) never because .
My answers:
1) The flu shot is something I never miss because I work with the public. 2) I think everyone should take naps daily. 3) I (almost) always stay up too late, because I drink too much coffee. 4) I (almost) never go out and do fun things, because between the kids, work and studying I am too tired to do more than Netflix.

Now, strange things keep happening to Lizzie. Things that are omens of darkness to come. A curse has doomed her to die an early death, just as she did in her past life. To make matters worse, even if she can figure out who cast the curse, it's irreversible. There's only one option left for her to save herself. It's crazier than anything she's heard yet, and to do it, she'll need Drew and Chelsea's help.

Because to make things right, they must go back in time to when it all began... and Lizzie discovers that the final events in her past life were more sinister than she ever imagined.
